Khabib Nurmagomedov, in a recent interview, said a rematch against Conor McGregor isn’t off his list. He will well and truly consider it as an actual probability. But of course, he has some conditions that he lays down for that to go through.

Khabib Nurmagomedov is back, and he has some news to share. He is willing to take on McGregor once again in their highly anticipated rematch, but the latter will have to first beat Dustin Poirier. Not only Conor, but Khabib also gave the same condition to Khabib. Poirier currently stands in the number one contender’s position, and anyone that can successfully beat him is deserving, according to Khabib.

But all this still doesn’t come that easy. Scheduled to fight Justin Gaethje at UFC 254, Khabib already has his eyes fixed on his next fight. He wants Georges St-Pierre to come out of retirement for a fight that he thinks will be the greatest in the history of the promotion.

Khabib said, “If I don’t fight St-Pierre, I’d fight anyone who beats Dustin Poirier next, whether it’s Tony Ferguson or McGregor after I fight Gaethje. But that is only if I don’t fight Georges St-Pierre. If he comes back to the UFC and agrees to fight me, then I’m fighting him.”

Khabib Nurmagomedov explains his conditions

Explaining his desire to fight St-Pierre, Khabib said, “Why? Because the last time he lost was 2007 and my career started in 2008. Together we’ve been undefeated for 25 years. I don’t think UFC will get another chance to make a fight like that, definitely not in the next 10 years.

“So Georges St-Pierre is next. If not, let Conor beat Poirier or have Tony beat him, and then I’ll fight them. Why? Because Poirier is the next contender. We already fought, and I beat him. Then he came back and beat a top-5 guy. So if Conor or Tony beat Poirier, I’ll fight them. That is, if I don’t get to fight Georges St-Pierre.”
